LiveDeck privacy policy

Manar Labs, Australia. Last updated 1 November 2026.

LiveDeck is a live video mixer that runs on your device. It is built to work without an account and without sending your video anywhere you did not point it.

What the app does with your data

  • Video and audio from your cameras, microphones, screen and network (NDI) sources are processed on the device. They leave the device only through outputs you start yourself: NDI on your local network, an RTMP or HLS stream to a server you configure, a recording saved to your device or a network drive you set up, or a Facebook Live or YouTube Live stream you sign in to.
  • Internet satellites and guests connect through a relay server (LiveKit) operated for LiveDeck. Media passes through the relay in real time and is not recorded or retained there. Invite codes and links are random and expire.
  • Support viewing of internet sessions. To check picture, sound and connection quality and to help with problems, LiveDeck support may watch an internet satellite or guest session live through the relay. This is view-only: support cannot send anything into your session, and nothing is recorded or saved. Each viewing is logged (time, session and length) and the log is deleted after 5 days.
  • Session details. To keep the relay healthy, our server notes basic details of internet sessions: the device names and models as your devices report them, the app build, connection times and video settings (such as resolution and bitrate). These details are deleted after 5 days. No video, audio, chat or IP addresses are stored.
  • Local network access is used to discover and talk to NDI sources, satellites and control surfaces on your Wi-Fi.
  • Purchases are handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). LiveDeck receives only the entitlement status, never your payment details.
  • Pro plans and trials. We keep anonymous, aggregate counts of a few moments in the Pro upgrade flow — the paywall being shown, a plan being tapped, a purchase starting/succeeding/being cancelled or failing, and restoring a past purchase — so we can tell whether the upgrade screen is working, not to track you. Each count carries only: which of those moments it was, the plan involved, the app platform (iPhone/iPad/Mac/Apple TV/Android/Android TV), the app build number, the app store's country for the purchase, and the date. It never carries your name, email, an account ID, a device ID, an advertising ID or your IP address — our server doesn't even store the IP address a request arrived from for this feature. It's off automatically in test/debug builds. Store purchase, trial, renewal and cancellation totals reported to us by Apple and Google are combined with these counts in the same aggregate form.
  • Anonymous diagnostics. So we can find and fix crashes and problems on devices we do not own, each time you use the app it can send one short, anonymous health report: the device model, operating system and app version and build, the language setting, which mode you used (such as Studio or Satellite), how many minutes you used it, which kinds of outputs you started (such as NDI, RTMP or a recording) and whether each worked, short failure codes when GO LIVE did not work, how many video frames were dropped, the highest heat level and the number of low-memory warnings reached, whether the app crashed last time it ran, and whether Pro was active. It never contains your name, email, an account, device or advertising ID, IP address, stream key, web address, room code, or any video, audio or chat. Our server uses the address a request arrives from only to limit abuse and does not store it. Reports are kept for 90 days and then deleted. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Share anonymous diagnostics; when it is off, nothing is collected or sent.
  • Facebook Live uses the Facebook SDK when you choose to sign in; Meta's privacy policy applies to that sign-in.
  • YouTube Live uses YouTube API Services when you choose to sign in with Google; see YouTube data below.

What we do not do

  • No account, no email address and no advertising identifiers are collected.
  • No analytics or tracking SDK follows you across apps or websites — the one counter described above is anonymous, LiveDeck-only, and aggregate.
  • Your video is never uploaded to or stored by us. (Support may view an internet session live, as described above, but never records it.)

Facebook data and how to delete it

If you sign in with Facebook to go live, LiveDeck keeps the sign-in token Facebook gives it on your device only, so it can start your stream to your timeline or Page. The token is never sent to us, and we store no Facebook data on our servers.

To delete it:

  1. On Facebook, open Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and websites, choose LiveDeck and select Remove. This revokes LiveDeck's access and makes the stored token useless.
  2. Uninstall LiveDeck, or clear its storage, to delete the token and everything else the app stored on your device.

YouTube data and how to remove it

LiveDeck uses YouTube API Services to let you go live on YouTube. By signing in with Google in LiveDeck you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's use of your information is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

When you sign in, LiveDeck asks Google for permission to manage your YouTube account. It uses that permission only to:

  • read your channel's name and picture, so you can see which channel you will go live on;
  • create a live broadcast and a live stream on that channel with the title, description and privacy setting you choose, start it when your video arrives, and end it when you stop;
  • check the broadcast's status while you are live, so the app can tell you if YouTube is not receiving video.

The sign-in tokens Google gives LiveDeck stay on your device only: on iPhone, iPad and Mac in the Keychain; on Android the sign-in is held by Google Play services and LiveDeck keeps the token in memory while it runs. They are never sent to us. We do not store, sell or share any YouTube or Google account data on our servers, and we do not use it for advertising.

To remove LiveDeck's access:

  1. Open your Google Account's third-party access page, choose LiveDeck and select Delete all connections (or Remove access). The stored tokens then stop working.
  2. Uninstall LiveDeck, or clear its storage, to delete the tokens from your device.

Broadcasts LiveDeck created stay on your YouTube channel as normal videos; you can delete them in YouTube Studio.

How we protect your data

  • Encrypted connections. All communication between LiveDeck and Google/YouTube (and Facebook) uses encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connections, and your live video is sent to YouTube and Facebook over encrypted RTMPS.
  • Sign-in tokens stay on your device. Google and Facebook sign-in tokens are kept only in the operating system's protected storage on your device (the iOS/macOS Keychain, which only LiveDeck on that device can read; on Android, Google Play services holds the Google sign-in). They are never sent to our servers. Signing out in LiveDeck deletes them and takes back LiveDeck's access, and they are cleared if the app is deleted and installed again.
  • No copies on our servers. We don't keep YouTube, Google or Facebook account data on any server, so there is none for us to share, sell or expose.
  • Our own servers. The servers used for the optional features described above are reached only over encrypted connections, and access to them is limited to Manar Labs staff and protected by keys.

Permissions

Camera, microphone, photo library (to save recordings and pick media), local network and screen recording are requested only for the features that need them and can be revoked in system settings.

Children

LiveDeck is a professional tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If we change this policy materially we'll post the update at this address. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
